This 2010 Spring/Summer volume captures MOONEYES at a moment where Japanese hot-rod culture, lowbrow art, and SoCal nostalgia were fully blending into one visual language. The issue features custom builds ranging from vintage Triumphs and Hondas to classic hot-rod iron, all photographed with that bright, sunny MOONEYES aesthetic. It also spotlights artists like Robert and Suzanne Williams, tying the magazine into the broader world of lowbrow and Kustom Kulture art that has long influenced the brand.
Alongside the machines, Vol. 5 leans into lifestyle—garage culture, snapshots from MOON Café, and photo-essays that reflect the scrappy DIY energy of early 2010s custom scenes. And as always, it doubles as a full catalogue of MOONEYES gear, clothing, accessories, and parts from that year. It’s a sunny, colourful, retro-leaning time capsule of MOONEYES culture at the beginning of the decade.
